Categories: Beef, Sandwiches
Yield: 2 Servings
Oil for frying
1 Onion; chopped
3 Cloves garlic; minced
1 lb Ground beef
1 ts Cayenne
1 ts Oregano
1 ts Cumin
1 ts Chili powder
Salt and pepper
8 Corn tortillas or taco
-shells
MMMMM-------------------------GARINISHES------------------------------
Shredded lettuce
Grated Monterey Jack cheese
Chopped jalapeno chilies
Chopped cilantro
Bottled taco sauce
Guacamole
Sour cream
In a large skillet, pour in some oil and gently cook the onion for
about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and meat to the onion and fry for a
few minutes. Add the spices and herbs with salt and pepper to taste,
and mix well, continuing to fry until the meat is fully cooked. Drain
and keep warm. If you are using tortillas, wrap them in tin foil and
warm in a low oven for a few minutes until soft. Spoon some of the
meat mixture into a tortilla and garnish with any or all of the
garnishes. Put the "drier" items on first, followed by the "wetter"
ones. Fold the tortilla over and eat. It is important not to overfill
the tortillas or it all falls apart. If you are using taco shells,
follow the same procedure (except for the folding bit) and caution.
The most interesting way to eat these is to vary the toppings so that
each taco is a new taste sensation. Serve with refried beans and a
beer. Serves 2. Formatted by Lynn Thomas dcqp82a@prodigy.com. Source:

Rossan. Lynn's notes: Made this 12-8-97; omitted oil and cooked the
beef, garlic and onion at the same time. Added 1/2 can refried beans
to meat mixture after cooking. This was a very good taco--make it as
spicy as you want.
